These two British actors played Prince Philip in
The Crown
, the hit series from Netflix.
Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies paid tribute to the memory of Prince Philip, who died on Friday at the age of 99.
Matt Smith, who played Queen Elizabeth II's husband in the show's first two seasons, paid tribute to her in a statement to
The Hollywood Reporter
.
“I would like to offer my condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family.
Prince Philip was the man for the job.
And he knew it.
More than 99 years old, but what a lap.
And what style.
Thank you for your service, man – it won't be the same without you,” the actor wrote.
Tobias Menzies, who plays him in seasons 3 and 4 of the series created by Peter Morgan shared a message this Friday on Twitter: “If there is one thing I know about the Duke of Edinburgh is that he certainly wouldn't want an actor who played him on TV to give his opinion on his life, so I'm going to let Shakespeare deal with it, ”he wrote, before to quote the famous British playwright.
“O good old man!
As it appears in you/The constant service of the ancient world…”
